《白鲸》 作者：赫尔曼·麦尔维尔
"Moby Dick" by Herman Melville
伊希梅尔：“叫我‘伊希梅尔’。”
Ishmael: "Call me Ishmael."
亚哈船长：“全体船员，我们要去找那只白鲸，然后干掉它，因为我是个疯子。”
Captain Ahab: "Crew, we will seek the white whale and kill it, because I am insane."
全体船员：“哎呀要死啊，你这毁灭性的妄想将招致我们的灭亡。”
Crew: "Alas, your destructive obsession will be our undoing."
（他们几乎找到那只白鲸了。然后他们又几乎找到那只白鲸了。然后他们找到了。）
(They almost find the white whale. Then they almost find the white whale. Then they find it.)
亚哈船长：“我刺、我刺……”
Captain Ahab: "I stab at thee. I stab at thee."
（所有人都死了，除了伊希梅尔，不过这不算稀奇，因为这个结局通篇都有暗示——真的是“通篇”。）
(Everybody dies except Ishmael, although this is no surprise, because it was foreshadowed CONTINUALLY from the BEGINNING.)

《瓦尔登湖》，作者：亨利·大卫·梭罗
"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau
亨利·大卫·梭罗：“一个真正富有的人并没有钱，他拥有的是勇气、真理，以及一个强大内心，强大到足以超越我们外表、肉体的一切消极。这就是为什么我要生活在穷乡僻壤。”
Henry David Thoreau: "A truly rich man doesn't have money, but rather courage, truth, and an inner glory that transcends the passiveness of our physical beings. That's why I'm going to live in the boonies."
（两年后……）
(Two years later ... )
“我待够了这鬼地方，我要回城里去干我的老本行，开铅笔厂。嗯，不过呢，我之前说的仍然算数。”
"I'm getting the heck out of here and getting my pencil-making job back. Um. But what I said still goes."
